My window faces a park named for a man
With the same name as me
And the tall pines grow down the hill
To where the children play on dirty knees
Then the shadow drops
And the breezes blow
Through the needles of the pines and then through me
When I was a little child I had a streak of wild in my veins
And all I knew was love
For I still had not yet seen this shadow of a being
Creeping up behind me of what I would become
Then the shadow dropped
And the weight of the world
Came pushing through its core and then through me
Now I have the whole world
Now I have it bearing down
Then the shadow dropped
And the weight of the world
Came pushing through its core and then through me
